Like so many others, I wake up in the middle of the night. Sometimes I get up and write. Lately my depression has been filling my 3am thoughts. COVID and My Depression My depression has been waiting on the sideline. Waiting for the chance to step up. Waiting for my guard to drop down. Waiting […]
She had the grace and elegance that made you think of women from another time. She was a force and hard to ignore. When the cardio doctor asked me questions about her I said she could be brittle. He laughed and said, “Yes she can be.” I explained that came because she could barely see […]
In a world gone mad, we could all use a little respect and dignity. If your world has fallen apart, respect and dignity can sometimes make you feel yourself again. This week I went for a walk with one of my favourite clients. It was the day before he was moving from his beloved home, […]
The more things change, the more they stay the same. On my last blog, I explained that I was going back to Scotland to celebrate turning 60 because I did the trip to mark my 50th birthday. For months I’ve also been remembering what and who I was when I turned 40. Funny how big […]
Ten years ago I made the decision to walk Scotland’s West Highland Way and Great Glen Way to celebrate my 50th birthday. The half-century celebration was a 297km solo trek through the Highlands. Starting near Glasgow, and ending in Inverness. The walk took 13 days, then I headed to Aberdeen to meet some very distant […]

My blog from last year, and I do believe I will be re-posting this every year! ________________________________________________________________________________________________ There was never any doubt I would be running the Salvation Army Santa Shuffle again this year. I also knew it would be the topic of my blog this week. As […]
I’ve said this before but the message isn’t getting through. I was again struck by the outpouring when a celebrity dies. A mass amount of tributes and stories takes over social media. It happened last week when Tom Petty died. If the death is unexpected the jolt is real. One day you’re dreaming about seeing […]
I love experiencing life’s unusual happenings. In our interconnected world it’s good to travel down many paths. Empathy is best learned with knowledge. Sometimes the only way you really know about something is to walk the walk. Last week I had an MRI of my spine and brain. Lucky me… one hospital visit and two […]
Eight coffee dates, too many hours of texting, emails galore, three con artists, two lovely dinners… and with that, my time on Match.com has come to an end. The process has been priceless. And it’s not because I found the love of my life, or even someone close. Match.com taught me a valuable lesson that […]
